I used this suit on my open water qualification dives, and it fit better than the 5 previous wetsuits I had tried on before. I am 5' 6" and fairly well muscled with an even height and weight distribution between upper and lower body, so finding a wetsuit that is the right size is very hard for me. I went with the medium/large short, and BARE is the only manufacturer I can find that sizes like this.

In the water, I immediately noticed how warm this suit is. I naturally produce a lot of body heat, so I took this 5mm into northern Japan's Mutsu Bay in June 2010, which had a surface temperature of 65 degrees. At 35 feet, the temperature was 58 degrees, and I was still comfortable. I was also very impressed with the durability of the suit, as I brushed against some of the sharp rocks getting in and out of the water, but did not have any tears in the suit when I inspected it after the dive. The knee protection panels work well too, I hit my knees on a couple rocks but didn't feel it much at all. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I will be purchasing other BARE suits in the future.

This wetsuit fits too wide on my arms, with big air around my biceps, and the neck is too loose, preventing an effective seal in the most important seal of a wetsuit. I am 6'3" 225lbs

Being 6'1" and 145lbs, finding a wetsuit that fit correctly proved to be difficult. Bare is one of the few brands that doesn't make the Medium-Long any wider than the Medium. I haven't had the chance to dive in this suit yet, but the fit out of the water is excellent. The zippered ankles and wrist and ankle seals are nice as well.

Purchased the Bare 5 mm wetsuit for a January live-aboard in the Bahamas as I concerned about getting cold doing 5 dives a day. No problems with staying warm, actually bothering on too warm for January in the Bahamas, and my Bare 3mm [highly recommend] would have been fine. So, I'll need to find colder dives to use it again. A couple of things that I didn't really like. First off the suit is very buoyant, and I had to add a lot more weight than I expected to get down. Second, the neck is super tight when fully zipped up, and I'm not a big guy. On more than one occasion I felt I was been choked, and had to yank it to give myself some comfort. It's certainly better when you're submerged as your position changes to horizontal, but was very uncomfortable getting geared up. I'll probably cut back the neck seal a little, and hopefully won't affect the seal. Overall, is a good suit for the money, but pay attention to the fit. Neck, and biceps are borderline regarding my size, and I ordered the ML. However, LP's customer service is the best [Aaron as always was great] and will work with you to ensure you get fitted as best they can.

I bought this wetsuit for a Bahamas liveaboard that got cancelled at the last minute. So, I've not had a chance to get in the water it yet. So, this review is about fit. So, the 5 flags are preliminary at this time.

I have the 3/2mm version of this Bare wetsuit in a medium size and figured the medium in 5mm would also fit as good as the 3/2mm. But, the 5mm ran a little smaller that the 3/2 in the medium, and I needed to step up to next size of Medium Large.

Again, great customer service from Leisure Pro and a special mention to Aaron for his support in helping me get the wetsuit I wanted in the correct size and color. Now hopefully I'll get a chance to use it, and will report back on well it performs in the water.
